Do you think is it worth your time and effort to fully earn money online?

After searching here and there, l still haven't found any high paid sites. I only came across alot of small scale earning sites. Now, l wonder, can it really replace our full-time job earning if we were to earn full-time online. I had read many articles regarding this type of earning. And, everyone of us are looking for ways to earn through online sites. Really pity for those who quitting their jobs just to want to earn income online..Do anyone really succeed in earning online that really can replace their full-time earning?

I still advice you to stick on the full time job. that is why online earning are just for work at home moms or wife or for people wanting to have extra money. You cannot chose online job at all means because what if there are interruptions like power cuts, internet errors or so, your job will be cut off too. It is better still to consider a regular job and company is paying you continuously. Here online, you can only receive the amount because you work for it, no standard rate of amount that you will earn. And you said it yourself that it is really small, so i guess it will never meet your end to buy the things you want. Be practical my friend, if you have a regular paying job, stick to it, this is not the time for quitting or resign because of economic crunch. We only do work online because we wanted extra money.

Thanks alot for your advice. But, lm already a work at home mom, just looking for ways to earn some extra income. Actually, it's my friend, who had wanted to make this decision after she heard her colleagues saying about earning from home is quite benefit. After l told her about all those answers from all of you, she had decided to continue with her job. She understand that not easy to earn money online as well.

Only when you are a computer savvy, and when you are able to explore every corner of online earnings then there might be possible to earn a living online. There are people who can earn few thousands online by making good their inborn talents like being a freelance writer to some paying sites. What ever it is I think one need to think carefully before resigning a paying job to take full time job online and expect to earn handsome income here. Online earning is unpredictable and I never rely on it to make online job as my rice bowl. It is all for the fun of it that I spend my time here.

Yes, those who have talent into writing and computer savvy, got more chance to survive with online jobs. Indeed, online earning is unpredictable and we just can't rely on it, if we don't had that kind of knowledge. Thanks for sharing..

I am surprised at the very thought that Online income could replace real jobs. Everyone can earn additional income online provided they are willing to spend a considerable amount of time. I have not heard of anyone quitting jobs with the dream of earning online. I have been able to earn 200$ on average monthly but I spend only few hours online. Earnings depends on skills you have to work online.

I actually did quit my full time job to work online. It's only two weeks so far though so I can't share much insite on how it is going. In one week I earned about $150 writing articles on Helium and Associated Content. I also have a blog that doesnt' really do anything for income, not yet anyway. There are other freelance jobs that pay quite well but I haven't really messed with those too much yet. There are a lot of people that stay home to freelance and do quite well at it. But you shouldn't just quit your job. Get a nice set up going first and you can then take off with it in directions you never imagined. I don't plan to get rich doing it, but I am not doing bad considering the amount of time that I spend doing other things. It's not really taking that much of my time. If I spent the normal 8 hour work day at my computer, I surely could be making enough money to pay the bills and have some extra to boot. It all depends on how well you set yourself up first.

I think it is about the same. I earn about $300~$500 per month but i not full time. It mean that the earning might go to $1000+ if i work full time. It is still less than what i gain now. It still can servive but i just dont want to make the online making as my full time since i might lose interest on that

it is hard to get any high paid sites. i suggest you look for a job or take a course in business if you want to know how to make more money online by setting up an online business.other than that, i am afraid to disappoint you that there are no easy ways to get rich on the internet.

Even I've earned much online, this income cannot be as much as my salary from offical job, so I think about online earning as a fun. Online job is a dream, and as the other dreams, it rarely comes true.

I agreed with your way of thinking. Sticking to your full-time job is still the best option until you had fully achieve your online dream job. Indeed it rarely comes true, but we can't tell how is the future of online dreams..

I have looked for ways to earn money from home before the internet was around. Never found that. Since i got a computer and the internet i have looked online. Havent found thet yet either. Places like this are really not worth all the time involved. Including mylots. Im convinced the only way to really make money online is selling stuff. Good luck with that too. Im not getting wealthy that way either. Anyone who has a job and quits it before knowing they are going to make money weather it be online something or another job, is a fool.

So gald your friend rethought that situation out. If she wants to investigate things like that i would suggest keep searching but keep the job till you find something. Especially with unemployment the way it is. Make sure the new income is matching the current till giving up the first job.

For me, earning online is really worth it because it gives me additional income aside from the real earnings that I get. My salary isn't that big so this really helps me a lot to have an additional income.. I had joined many online earnings but only pickjack, and mylot had send my payout so I really trust this two sites.. I'm still waiting for my next earning in ciao and I hope I'll received it already since last time they had block or deleted my account and I don't know their reasons..

Hey there! Yes, it is possible, but in the long run. The best way for me to earn online is creating your own website or blog. You make many and useful post about a certain topic, get a high page ranking from search engines. You can also be a merchant online. You can sell things that you have through ebay or amazon. You can also blog for companies. You can create good videos about a product too. Have a nice day. Happy posting!!

Right now, I can say "yes" it is honestly worth my time. Presently there are not any other jobs available and I just don't earn enough by subbing in the local school districts, so any money that I can make online is definitely worth it no matter how small the amount. I would love to find a full time job and still work online for a little extra money, but right now this is all that I have and I have to supplement my income somehow. I would never quit a full time job with benefits to work online.

I believe that there are legitimate sites that can actually replace your current job. But of course their success stories are not a common nor it is an instant thing. If you are planning to do a full time online job you must first weigh things out. It's always wise to be prepared and to have a plan. What you want, how you will achieve your goal, and your contingency plans should be in place before making such decision of giving up your current job. With due diligence, discipline, and dedication, i'm sure success is not far from your reach.

I am already 3 years with myLot and now collected $5, 11 months as premium membership at clixsense and collected now $25, I lost around $1000 to make money online by registering to many programs and also forex online trading. Sorry to let you know BUT if you were an INTERNET programer or expert, I am still optimistic you will make big money. good luck. from your neighbour country.

Of course those who are expert in internet fields, are guaranteed to have a far more better income then us, who are only plain internet user. Maybe, it's real that we need to have some basic internet knowledge to earn income online. Anyway, we need to be wise in choosing the site we want to join. Better research first, before join. Good luck to you, too.

I have never find it worth unless I am the founder. I have friends who have participated in online programs, paid and attended workshops and classes for online business and yet have not seen any results. It is the big players and scammers who are making real money out of the innocent.

Sorry to hear about your friends problems. Well, in order to be success in their chosen field, they need to put a lot of effort and time into it. Although, it's hard to success online but, they need to learn and upgrade their online skill. Im sure your friends can succeed if they willing to put their thinking hat and think like those big players..

Hi Myfb, I have been earning online for a little over 2 years and I still do not make enough to quit my job. Actually, I am out of work trying to get long term disability for a leg issue and I still can not manage to make enough to supplement my income. Those stories and sites that I have seen about how they quit there jobs and now own a 1/2 million dollar home, a boat and a new car,are too good to be true, I joined on such site and invested money and time, I got very little reward for it. I still not made a profit from that site yet. It gets frustrating when we try our best and come up with little or nothing at all. I guess for now, I will have to be happy making the little that I do ($100-$200+ a month). It is enough to help with the bills but not too much. I do save some and re-invest some in hopes to make more in the future, but it takes a while to profit from it. I started this with no out of pocket money and I have kept it that way except for a little on that one site which was $50 of personal money.

I have started a new business recently. It only requires you to surf everyday. This business has cost me nothing to get into and by surfing everyday i get my traffic for free. I am like you and have found it hard to make a decent amount of money on the net. So, i am giving this a go. I will start a discussion about this business in about a month. I will give it time to work and see how i go. So, look out for my discussion in case it turns out well or you can pm me now and i will give you more details. After all you only have some surfing to do and if it works, this could be good.

All jobs are hard are not like looks at first sight. To earn big money online is very hard , but with hard work you can do it , is not impossible . At begining is very dificult to make profit , doesn;t exist site that pay you from first day so if you want to earn fast money , online is not the solution . But if you want to earn money from your home and dont have a boss , and work when you want , online bussines is the right choice. So the time and efort dont realy worth
